Assignment 2 - ENCI 427 Timber Engineering Design of Pres-Lam Frame

This document provides the design parameters and material properties for a pres-lam timber frame building with 3 bays and 3 storeys located in Wellington, New Zealand. It includes the frame geometry, seismic mass, design drift ratio, recentering ratio, and design ductility. It also provides the material properties for LVL beams and columns, post-tensioning bars, and mild steel reinforcement. The design moment calculated for the beam-column joint is 250 kN. The preliminary section sizes and reinforcement details are given. The tasks are to 1) calculate the joint moment capacity at the design drift, accounting for geometry and elastic deformations, 2) modify the unbonded length of external reinforcement to allow for 2.5 mm of

Following your building analysis you have calculated that your beam-column joint requires a design
moment of M* = 250 kN.
You have performed a preliminary design which has yielded the following section sizes, post-tensioning
quantities and initial force and mild steel quantities.
Design Moment* M* 250kN
Column Height hc 0.82 m
Column Width wc 0.52 m
Beam Height hb 0.82 m
Beam Width wb 0.52 m

PT bar Area Apt 552 mm2


Initial PT Force** Tpt,initial 360 kN
PT Unbonded Length lub,pt 19.32 m

Mild steel diameter Φs 12 mm


Mild steel unbonded length lub,s 260 mm
Mild steel total length lt 300 mm
*Design moment is at the centreline of the beam-column joint
**180 kN in each bar

1. Use the detailed analysis procedure to calculate the moment capacity of the internal beam-
column joint at the design drift. Remember:
 Account for geometric influences on moments and rotations
 Account for elastic deformations
 Check design assumptions (eg. β = 0.8, PT bars not yielding, Timber not yielding)
2. Modify the unbonded length of the external reinforcement to allow for 2.5 mm of connection
movement
3. Draw the beam-column back bone curve for:
 Mpt – θimp
 Ms – θimp (at yield θimp = 0.115% and c = 0.377, use lub,s = 260 mm)
 Mcon - θimp
 Mcon - θcon
 Mcon – Drift

All submitted work should be neat and easy to follow. Marks will be deducted for untidy and
hard to follow work.
